LABILLBACKER

KC and Cincy are definitely McDermott's kryptonite.

The snow didn't help. Hines kept slipping. The DL couldn't get any push. This current Bills team just doesn't seem to play as well in typical Buffalo conditions as the 90's team did. It's just not an advantage anymore.

Rousseau is not elite. He's borderline rotational. AJE and Boogie will not be extended. We have to pray Von stays healthy next season. Our DL is in trouble.

This is the proper route. I'm convinced McDermott is basically telling Beane who to pick defensively on draft day. Josh is the only path to a SB. Build your damn team around the offense. Hire a offensive HC. We're not winning a SB with McD botching picks or in game decisions.

Oliver, Rousseau, Epenesa and Basham didn't do squat today against 3 backups. Yes Von seemed to raise their level of play early this year but I saw no heart from them today.

Whoever scouted Basham and Epenesa should be fired. How many consecutive years are we to tolerate a bottom 10 OL. Our DL & OL have always been the problem.

You absolutely have to play press man if rushing that many. Tre was 7-8 yards off the wr. Frazier has no clue.

Milano was the only defensive player that looked like he cared today. Give Milano all of Edmunds money.

It's officially time for Frank and a new DC. Dorsey & Frazier are done in my eyes. Poor adjustments, nothing clever. Same stubborn scheme.

Trock are you drunk...🤪

We had the exact bend don't break crap during our 90's run. This is like de ja vu all over again with a better qb. In our last 4 playoff exits our defense was embarrassing. Stubborn coaches sticking with their worthless zone scheme. Including today, how many dozens of times we saw 3rd & long converted. This craziness has to stop.

Least disappointed...wow your bar isn't set very high. I wish you were my boss.

Josh on the Niners would be multiple Lombardis. I would love for Reich to take over for Dorsey and we need a new dynamic DC willing to use man coverage more. But like the word purgatory, nothing will change.

When you spend nearly 70% of you FA / Draft assets on a failed playoff defense that's the result. Let's sign some mediocre Jags on the OL and ask Josh to be superhuman. What could possibly go wrong. For nearly 5 years Sean was selfish and put his defensive needs ahead of protecting QB1. Shame on you Sean.

With each failed defensive exit, Sean the pied piper will lose supporters. It will take some longer than others to realize this. Losing a 16-0 lead in Houston pissed me off. Then 13 seconds should've gotten someone on defense fired. Today the whole team (especially the D) was flat and unprepared. Maybe having Damar in the locker room was a bad idea? There's alot to like about McDermott away from a football field. But when kickoff starts, he terrifies me.

Beane & McDermott have defensively failed this team at the expense of protecting Josh with a better OL.

I just know the talking heads will be ball washing Mahomes & Burrow from here on out. My biggest fear moving forward is Josh becomes Dan Marino or God forbid Warren Moon.

Was really hoping Ed showed up today. It didn't happen. Disappointed in Rousseau's play too. AJE was worthless as usual.

Well newsflash, he's going to have to be if you want to wait around for McD to create a SB defense.

Cool.....in 20 years Josh will be 46.

Let's not kid ourselves. Sean McDermott is the Marty Schottenheimer version of this era. Great wonderful likeable guy dripping in culture, process and team bonding. But as a defensive HC, he has now failed in his last 4 playoff exits. He runs a soft zone which requires a monster pass rush that he does not have. He knew he failed on the 3 DE's when he went after Von. Meanwhile Josh's OL gets worse every year. Pure stupidity.

Well maybe because our last 4 playoff exits were all defensive failures. Our defense is soft and small. We had 270lb DE's today pretending to play DT. I felt the season was probably lost when Micah & Von went down. The air just came out of the balloon.

Maybe Diggs would like to take a crack at LT. Everyone is frustrated. Sean failed this team years ago by putting his own selfish defensive needs (failed DE's) over the good of protecting your #1 asset.

Josh hasn't regressed. Dorsey is a rookie OC who struggled this year. The trenches on both sides is abysmal. That's 100% on Sean. He determines what kind of player Beane selects. Josh simply realizes he has to do even more than ever before (hero ball) to offset the other deficiencies.

SF's winning it all. Now that's a defense Sean.
